With checks tingling with the blush of
shame every honest American citizen will
read tho record of tho crimo and conviction
of one of tho highest officials of tho National
government. Dolknap has fallen, and an
other victim is added to tho long list of
thoso who havo permitted themselves to bo
guided by tho besetting sin nf the day, tho
vulgar lust for riches, which is tho natural
result of the influences that havo come to
govern society at Washington under tho
present administration, and which, radiating
thenco lias poisoned tho moral structuro ol
the whole nation and is sapping tho very
foundations of our national life.
Cut what more could havo been expected?
The appointment of Belknap as secretary o
warwas but ono of many instances where the
President has obstinately refused to place in
responsible positions, men of ability and in
togrity, and contrary to tho advice of states
men, bas selected obscure nnd untried indi
viduals who when put through tlio fire, have
yielded to tho temptation surrounding them.
and brought disgrace upon tho nation
When Belknap went to Washington from a
little Iowa town ho saw many things which
naturally led him to tho conclusion that he.
too. might as well mako a fortune. Ho saw
tho highest offices in the'govemment bestow
cd inreturn for gifts of houses and lands,
Ho saw lurant surrounded by such men as
Shepherd, and Williams and Delano,as con
fidential advisers. Ho saw tho extravagant
manner of living indulged in by other Cabi
net officers, and desired that his wife should
shine as brightly as any of them. Hut his
salary was insufficient and he must havo
money. When it was offered him,ho followed
the example of his associates and took it,
and then camo the day of retribution. He
who might have been a respected citizen
of his State, if bo had not yielded to his
foolish ambition and accepted an oflicc,
which together with a handsomo and ex
travagant wife who must have diamouds.
havo blighted his whole life, stands to-day
before tho bar of tho Senate, a criminal
pitied by some, despised by all.
I s the Republican Party not to blamo for
the corruption that characterizes the day
Will they longer have tho hardihood to talk
about the "great moral ideas,'.' "the grand
principles of Itepublicanism" and all that
The statesmen of that party, tho Sumners,
the Schurzes,the Trumbulls.and the Greeley's
were forbidden guests at tho Republican
feast, because they were honest, and such
truckling politicians as the Mortons, tho
Conklings tho Blaines and tho Carpenters
havo taken their places ; and yet when we
charge upon that party, tho responsibility
for all tho corruption, tho jobs, tho thievery,
and tricks that are daily coming to light,
thoy tell us that it is tlio extravagance of tho
people, and not the corruption of the Re
publican Party that has brought all this dis
grace upon the nation. O Times! O Customs!
How chanced indeed !
Tho bill making an appropriation for tho
Stato buildings at the Centennial passed
finally in thoHouseatHarrisburgycsteiday.
There should be no delay in passing it
through the Senate, for Pennsylvania is al
ready behind most of the States in separato
preparation for the Exhibition. The Houso
also passed, on second reading, a bill ap
propriating $25,000 to pay the expense- of
tho encampment of tho National Guard next
summer, Now let our citizen soldiers get
to work to becuio a turn-out worthy of tho
occasion. Times.
It seems to U3 that the Philadelphia Press
devote their space equally to abusing tho
Legislature, and to begging appropriations
from it for Centennial purposes. Wo are
awaro that "there aro millions in it" -or
Philadelphia. Tho State has mado magnifi
cent contributions, and at the time of tho
lft appropriation tho pledge was given that
no moro would be demanded, and yet bill
after bill is offered, and their passago urged,
to mako appropriations for all conceivablo
objects. It is time this thing was stopped,
Congress has given the 1, 500,000 asked for,
and additional appropriations for specific
purposes, aro not only unnecessary ,but reck
less. In times like theso economy should bo
the order of tho day; and it is absurd to re
trench at Washington and Harrisburg for
the purpose of spending tho amount saved

Tho Ilcnublicaii mess throughout tho
country fully npprcciato tho situation in
which the revelations at Washington nave
placed their party and are attempting to un
burden themselves by placing on tho shoul-
lor of lion. Helslcr Clymcr tho responsi
bility for. tho escape of Marsh, upon whoso
testimony Balknap was Impoiched. Tho
Philadelphia 'wjsays: "It is snid that .Mr.
Clymcr, in Investigating tho Belknap mat
ter, held secret meetings of tho Democratic
members of tho committee, In order not td
consult Its Republican minority. Either ho
meant to imply that ho did not trust It, or
ho meant to keep this business for political
capital. When tlio matter was brought to
tho notice of tho lloit-o ho moved tlio pre
vious question, and hurried his impeach
ment resolutions through so rapidly, and
under such conditions, that it was impos
sible for tho Ilotiso to act advisedly. Again,
wo sco tlio determination to cxcludo the Re
publicans from any part In tho proceedings
against Belknap. Having accomplished ins
purpose, Mr. Clymcr dismissed bis principal
witness, Mr. Marsh, who has siuco fled tlio
country, and, our despatches say, with Mr.
Clvmer's convlvancc." Xow wo ask why
should Mr. Clymcr not havo had secret
meetings? Could ho expect any assistance
from tho Republican party in bringing to
Unlit the rottenness that has characterized
tho administration for years? Could that
party now in tho minority bo expected to
assist in reforming thoso evils whicu tncy
have known all about and winked at for tho
last four years? If Mr. Clymcr had not
conducted his investigation precisely as lio
did we doubt whether Belknap would not
havo been Secretary of War to day. It is
not tho manner of tho investigation but tho
result that makes our political opponents
howl. Tlio very buggestion of Mr. Clymcr's
connivance- at tho cscapo of Marsh i3 absurd.
What earthly advantage could bo expect to
derive from such a course? By to doing ho
was simply defeating his own ends and
llnistcr Clvmer is not tho man to run his
head in any such a noose. Tho whole mat
ter is just here, that without something of a
reactionary character tlio Republican party
is dead. Killed by Babcock and buried by
Belknap. What particular part tho Pres
ident has taken in its dcatli wo aro not
prepared to say at present, but perhaps be
fore tho Democratic Congress get through
with tho business wo shall know more a
bout it.
KADICAIi REASOXIXD.
Tho followinc extract from tho Press is
extremely Apropos at this time :
Our Democratic friends aro arranging
matters nicely for the speedy termination
of tho prestige thpy enjoyed in tho last fall
elections. They have done in Congress "the
things they ought not to havo done, and
havo left undone tho things that they ought
to have done," beyond any miserable sin
ners who commit their sins in public. They
have a'few professors at West Point whine

really has some valuo to tho country, was,

pie, that, if successlul, they would cut
down exnenscs. and thcv aro doing it.
They promised to ferret out nnd punish cor
ruption and aro doing it. They promised
to remove official barnacles, and aro doing
it. In this effort they receive no assistance
from tho party in power. On tlio contrary
there is a constant effort to continue tho old
condition of affairs, and each reform meas
ure meets with a torrent ot abuse. We
leave it to the peoplo whether or not "They
havo done in Congress tho things they
ought not to have done and have left undone
the things they out to have done."
CAMEUO.X IX A XEW HOLE.
When Secretary Cameron was apprised
of the Belknap disirrace the venerable man
repeated the words. "Terrible, terrible."
"This comes." said he. "from Giant's sys
tem ot appointments." lie lrenuenliy toui
him that ho oiiirlit not to put obscure men
in high positions. He always had a number
of these unknown characters around him.
"Tho only way for people to live," said ho
"is within their means. Mr. Buchanan and
myself used to pav from S8 to 10 a week
for board and two rooms, and wo lived well
The bcripturo is right "Lead us not into
temptation.' "
These hypocritical tearsof .the Winnebago
Chief cnuso a loud smile. The people
have not forgotten the time when he was
Secretary of War under Lincoln, and made
his namo infamous by being interested in
shoddy and other contracts. So notorious
was it that, Lincoln banished him to Rus
sla, to cool' off and savo tho Administra
tion from disgrace. Send Belknap to Aus
tria.
Belknap is so thoroughly disgraced that
even tho President has found it necessary to
kick him, after doing his level best to savo
him from impeachment by accepting his re-
biguition with indecent haste. Mr. Grant,
in the Cabinet meeting yesterday, directed
the Attorney General to iustituto criminal
proceedings not only against the cx-fcecre-
tary of War, but agaiust Tomliiuon and
Marsh aud all other parties implicated in
the bribery. It is noteworthy that ho was
very careful to includo tho inlormer who,
by his refusal to forswear himself, or even
prevarlcato before the committeo, has con
victcd a high government official ofa shame
ful malversation. It is just bo in the whis
ky trials. The President was far moro
censed against tho poor distillers who were
forced or duped into the ring by such cun
ning official rogues as Joyce and McDonali
that against thoho unfaithful officers them
selves, and when ho told Bristow to "let no
guilty man escape," he roferred particularly
to the wak members of tho ring who by
f peaching" had gotten his friends into trou
ble, Pierrepont's famous circular proved
this. So now Mr. Grant ostentatiously de
mauds tho criminal prosecution of Marsh
the informer. It might be unpleasant to
persons very near tho throno if this sort of
thine were to spread, lhero is llrother
Orville Grant, who has a trading monopoly
similar to that given by Belknap to Marsh

there is no knowing to what extent the

tlves and pets ot tho President may bo 11

JIAnSIl'S STATEMENT.
In the summer of 1870 mvsclf and wife
spent some weeks at Lung Branch, and on
our return to New York Mrs. Belknap and
Mrs. Bower, by our invitation, camo for a
isitio our bouse. Airs. uelk-nap was m uur
ng this visit somo three or four weeks, and
suppose in consequonco oi our Kinuiiess to
er sho felt under somo obligations, for she
asked mo ono dav. in tho courso of conver
sation, why I did not apply for a post-trader-
ship on tho Irpntier. l asiicu what they
were, and was told that they were, niary of
them, very lucrativo offices or posts in the
gift of tho Secretary of War, and that if I
anted ono sho would asK tne secretary lor
ono forme. Upon my replying that I thought
such offices belonged to disabled soldiers,
and, besides that I was without political in-
,.. ' 1 .1.-. -...!?.!..! .
uuence, suo iiuswcrcu wiai- iiumiuiuii gut
uch places, ivc. I do not remember saving
that if 1 had a valuable post of that kind
that I would remember her, but I do remem
ber her savine something Iiko this : "If I
can prevail upon tho Secretary of War to
award you a post, you must lie careful to
say nothing to him about presents, for a
man once ollered limi iu,wu lor a trader
ship of this kind ami he told him that if he
did not leave tlio ollico ho would kick him
lown stairs." Remembering as I do this
story, I presume tho antecedent statement
to be correct. Mrs. Belknap and Mrs. Bow
er returned to Washington, and n few weeks
thereafter Airs. Belknap sent mo word to
como over. 1 did so. taiio then told me
that the post-tradcrship at I-ort Sill was
acant, that it was a valuable post as she
ndcrslood. and that sho had either asked
for it for mo or had prevailed upon the Sec
retary of War to agree to give it to me. At
all events, I called upon the Secretary, and,
as near as I can remember, mado application
lor this post on regular printed lorin. The
Secretary said ho would appoint mo if I
could bring proper recommendatory letters,
and this I said I could do
jiu. iii:i.knap's cuter.
Either Mrs. Belknap or tho Secretary
told me that the present trader at the post,
,ionn s. avails, was an applicant lor reap
pointment, and that i had better seo mm
ho beinir m tlio city), as it would not be
fair to turn him out ol offico without some
notice, as ho would lose largely on his build
ings, merchandise, &c, if tlio office was tak
en from him. and that it would be proper
andjust for mo to make somo arrangement
with him lor tho purchase it J wished to
run the post myself. I saw Evans, and
found him alarmed nt tho prospect of losing
tlio place. I remember that he said that a
firm of Western post traders, who claimed
good deal ol inllucnce with tlio secretary
of War, had promised to havo him appoint
ed, but he found, on coming to Washington
this firm lobe entirely without inllucnce. Mr.
Evans brst proposed a partnership, which I
declined, and then a bonus of a certain
portion of tho profits if I would allow him
to hold the position and continuo tho busi
ness. We finally agreed upon fifteen thous
and dollars per year. Mr. Evans and mvsclf
ivent on to iscw lorn together, where the
contract was mado nnd executed, which is
herewith submitted. During our trip over,
however, Mr. Evans saw something in the
Armu and Ann Journal which led him tn
till rife that somo of tho troops wero to lie
removed from tho fort, and that lie had offer
ed too largo a sum, and before tho contract
was drawn it wns reduced by agreement to
$12,000, tho same being payablo quarterly
in advance. When tho first remittance
came to me, say probably in November,
1H7U, i sent ono nnu tnereot to Airs. Jielk
nap, either, I presume, by certificate of de
posit or bank notes by express.
Being in Washington at a funeral some
weeks after this I had a conversation with
Mrs. Bower to tho following purport, as far
as I can now remember, but must bay that
just here my memory is exceedingly indis
tinct, and t judge in part pcrhnps Irom what
lollowcd as to tho details ol the conversation
I went up stairs in tho nursery with Mrs.
Bower, to seo tho baby. I said to her. this
child will have money coming to it before
a great wiuic. nno said yes. mo mother
gavo tho child to mo and told mo that the
inonoy coming from me she niut tako and
keep for it. I said all right, and it seems to
mo 1 said that perhaps the father ought to
be consulted, I say it seems so. and vet I
can give no reason lor it, lor, as J knew tho
lather Knew nothing ot any money traiis-
acuons uuiwci-u mo inoiuer ami niyscii
I have a faint recollection of a remark
of Mrs. Bower that if I sent tho money
to the father, that it belonged to her, and
that sho would get it any way. I certainly
had somo understanding then, or subse
quently, witli her or him, for when the
next payment came duo and was paid.
I sent one-half thereof to tho Secretary of
War, and havo continued substantially
from that day forward, to tho presold time
to do tho same. About, I should say, ono
and a-half to two years after the commence
ment of theso payments I reduced the amount
to i0,wu per annum,
Belknap has retained Hon J. S. Black

his counsel to defend him before tlio Senate,

Had a thunderbolt been launched from n
clear skv or nil unfathomable nbyss yawned
In tho pathway of Grant, his Cabinet, and
his party, no more consternation and dismay
could have been produced among them than
was occasioned by tho revelations in regard
to tho late Secretary of War,Bclknap, which
came out on Wednesday last. Tho com
mitteo had after a great deal of delay and
trouble, procured tho attendance of Marsh,
whoso testimony when given was so direct
and posltivo ns to leavo no room for any
doubt of tho Secretary's guilt, When sent
for ho entered tho committee room smiling,
considering It perhaps as a incro matter of
form. 'But no sooner was ho confronted
with Marsh's statement than his countc
iinnco fell, tho color camo and went upon
his check, Ills courage forsook him, and with
out further speech ho made confession of his
guilt, and nll'crcd then nnd there to hand In
Ills resignation as soon as ho could icaeh tho
President. His wife was then called and
though, llko a truo woman, she sought by
every means in her power to shield her hus
band, yet tho facts wero too patent and her
cllbrta were of no avail. This of courso oc
curred in a secret session of tho committee,
yet it lias been intimated that never in the
history of tho country was there a moro sol
emn and impressivo scene. The members
of tho committee sat stern, silent and deter
mined, wliilo the thrco actors in tho great
and grievous political drama enacted their
parts beforo them. It was truly a tragedy
and around it was thrown a deeper interest
from tlio bitter reality of its incidents,
i'lio Republican papers of this city with
that entire want of courage nnd justice
hich so uniformly marks their cycry utter
ance, have striven very Hard to tako advan
tage of the confession of Belknap's wifo
nd fasten upon her tho stigma which be
longs to him, and him alone. Ono can
carcely imagine anything more utterly con-
temptiblo nnd cowardly than this, and it
really gives a right thinking man a posi-
vc contempt for human nature when ho
sees partisanship resort to such shifts as
these to sustain itself in power.
There is ono pliaso of tho Jnd'air which
suggests much of danger aud difficulty for
the American peoplo in the future. In the
first place, Gen. Grant accepted Belknap's
resignation without a moment's previous no
tice, aud with tho evident intention of shicld-
ng him behind a technicality from impeach
ment by the House.
Tho Secretary rushed into the White
House in an excited and hurried manner,
thrust a paper in tlio President's" hand and
ithdrow without explanation. It was but
few minutes beforo the acceptance was in
is possession. Tho indecent liasteof tho
hole matter was in itself suspicious, yet lie
(Grant)has followed up this criminal indis
cretion by another of far greater magnitude,
and which gives tho most powerful spirit
f Oesarism yet exhibited by the present in
cumbent. Ho immediately gavo instruct
ions to Attorney General Picrrepont, which
far from assisting the prosecution of
ustice, will drive out of the country every
itncss who dares to know anything derog
atory to tho character of ofliicials under
his Administration. A more high handed
outrage upon tho privileges of a freo peoplo
as never attempted, and Grant willyct find
notwithstanding his assumption of indifi'er-
enco, that ho has taken a step too far, aud
that tho people in this Centennial year aro
not disposed to allow any man to assume
the air and manner of a Cromwell.
Marsh has already iled to Canada and
many others will probably follow his cxam-
sinee they must expect the utmost ven-
goanco of tho Administration if they appear
in cvidciice.against it.
In view of tho ninny and dangerous in
novations mado by Mr. Grant upon the
customs of his predecessors and tho rights
fcitizeiiH, it behooves us, at times, to rub
ourtsyes and wonder if this can indeed bo
tho ''freo America" of which wo havo been
accustomed to boast.
Let mo say, right here, that tho success
hich followed tho investigations of tho
committee was duo to nothing moro than
to tho absolute secrecy of its deliberations.
Had they thrown open their doors, and the
testimony been published from day to
ay, it is not lcasonablc to suppose that
Belkn ap could very soon have foresee tho
result and by a judicious uo of somo of tho
sutlership funds rendered all their c-fi'urts
nugatory and thus givo further encourage
ment to other official robbers.
Tho wisdom of the Democrats in deciding
upon this method of procedure is every day
becoming moro and moro manifestand it is
a matter of congratulation that they havo
not allowed themsolvo to bo affected by
newspaper clamor about "star chamber"
proceedings. &c, but kept the "even tenor
of their way."
I ho Democrats here are of courso pleased
with tlio result inasmuch as it operates as a
most powerful proof of their zeal in tho
cause of reform, and a practical demonstra
tion of the truth of their charge of fraud
aud peculation in high places, yet there are
no violent demonstrations of satisfaction,
and many have been heard to express tho
view that it may well bo looked upon as a
national" calamity. I ho Republicans aro
downcast and sorrowful, as well they may
be. The blow camo so unexpectedly that
even their leaders, so accomplished in tho
art of dissimulation, could not feign sur
prise, and such was thcirovcrwhclming con
fusion that they had no recourse but to lay
tho blamo upon tho extravaganeo of his
wifo and weep bitter tears 6f lamentation
as they thought of the approaching elec
tion in New Hampshire aud Connecticut,
Before, doubtful, in tlio former State, success
it now assured, und it needs but a few more
such exposures to produco a revolution in
favor of tho democracy, to which that of
1873 was a small affair. Tho fall of Belknap
Is tlio first guu of tho Centennial campaign,
and sounds in tho ears of tho Radical party
liko tho knoll of doom, it fixes tho policy
of our party until a convention makes its
platform and foreshadows tho retirement of
of Mr. Grant in 1877, in a way asunexpect-
cd tohiinself as it will be satisfactory to tlio
country at largo.
Articles of impeachment havo been prc
paied in tho Hoiuo and on Friday were sub
mitted to the Senate. They will bo acted
upon to-day, and as publlo excitement still
runs very high, It Is expected that every

1. Tn nil cnes of felony, whether felony
nt common law. or felony by statute : and
th'n liability attaches immediately, whenever
a conviction for a lelonious ollenco lias been
renched.
2. .lustircs of tho Pcaeo and Alderman
Milnirmuipil on the trial of titons nro entitled
to icceivo from tho county their daily pay as
witmwes, except for one day during each
Court, when they nro hound to attend for
the purpose of returning their recognizances,
The same is truo of constables, rorono
il.iv thrv nro paid ns vllieers who make re
turns to tlio Court j they cannot receivo pay
as witnesses for tho same day.
!!. Tho county is immediately liable for tho
costs ol prosecution in ncasc.either of felony
nr misdemeanor, where tho grand iurv re
turn a bill ignoramus, and direct that tho
County pay the costs; or, where the Petit
Jury acquit n defeudant,and return a similar
direetiou or finding.
-1. Tho County is immediately liable for
tho costs of prosecution also, whcro a de
fendant is convicted of a misdemeanor, and
sentenced to imprisonment at labor by bepa
rate or solitary confinement.
' fi. Where, however, a defendant is con
victed of a misdemeanor, nnd not sentenced
to imprisonment nt labor by separato or
solitary confincnictit.but to simplo imprison
ment, or to pay a fine nnd costs, or to all
those penalties combined, liability for tho
costs of prosecution does not attach to tho
County, until the convict, not having means
to pay the costs himsclf,hasbecn"disehargcd
according to law."
G. Where a convict has been sentenced to
imprisonment, no matter though tho term
be long or short less man an hour, even
or where ho has been sentenced to pay a
fine in computing tho costs a jury fee of four
dollars is to bo included ho cannot bo dis
charged according to law," so as to fasten
upon tho County liability for the costs of
prosecution, except under the Act of In
solvency, or where tlio judgment has been
arrested or reversed on error.
7. If tho County Commissioners assume to
dichargo a convict under any other circum
stances, such dischargo is contran to law
and the convict may bo retaken and recom
mitted to prison, there to remain until ho
has lully complied with nil the incidents ol
his conviction nnd sentence.
S. Where, however, a defendant has been
convicted and sentenced to pay a fine, not
exceeding liiteen dollars, exclusive oi cosi
ho mav bo "discharged according to law.
after ho has remained in prison thirty days,
And the same is true, though ho may have
been convicted and sentenced on several
bills of indictment, if the sentenco to pay a
lino in each case does not exceed liltccn dol
lars.
H. Though a witness for tho Common
wealth may bo stibpienaed and in attendance
where a defendant, or several of them, arc
charged and convicted upon different indict
ments at tho samo term or sessions, yet ho
will only be entitled to receive from the
County his milengo nnd daily pay, as if at
tending in a single case.
10. here a person is nccuscd ol any
crime, and is brought before a Justice ol
tho Peaco or Alderman, and upon exami
nation tlio charge is ascertained to bo un
founded, the accused is entitled to bo dis
charged ; whereupon, the County is liable
for the costs of the magistrate and constable
and also for the daily pav of tlio witnesses
subpoenaed and in attendance on the part of
the commonwealth.
11. Tho County is liable for tho costs o
Justices of the Peaco. Aldermen, Constables
and witnesses in cases where conviction
havo been had lor drunkenness or vrgrancy
if the convicts havo been sentenced to bard
labor, and not having means to pay the
liability can bo fastened upon tho County
it must appear that tho commitments fol
low tho sentenco as recorded. Magistrates
should bo careful, therefore to follow th
r-triet letter of tho statute, othcrwiso the
County will not bo liable.
12. In all cases where a party has been
convicted nfn .felony nnd escapes, or lor
feits his bail or for any cau-e, fails to come
into Court, a capias is awarded to bring him
in to receive his judgment; aud for the fees
if tho clerk of the Oyer and Terminer, or
Quarter Sessions, for issuing tho writ, and
also for tho Sheriff for executing it, tho
County is liablo under nil circumstances,
13. Where a constable makes a return
charging a party with on oltence. and tho
district attorney, under the direction of
tho, Court, sends a bill before tho Grand
Jury, who return it a true bill, or whcro th
Grand Jury themselves indict a person for
an otienco ot ino public notonty, commu
ted within their own knowledge, a Iiko writ
is also awarded to bring in tho accused for
trial, If the offenco bo a misdemeanor, and
a conviction is had, and the convict
sentenced to imprisonment nt labor by sep
arate or solitary eoniiiiement, tho county
becomes llablo at once lor the lees ol tin
clerk of tho Oyer and Terminer, or Quar-
ter Sessions, jor issuing tho writ, and fo
tho fcesofthe sheriff for executing it. But
if tho convict is sentenced to simplo un
prisonment together witli a fine ami costs,
or to either, or to all of theso penalties,
such liability docs not attach, until being
without means himself to pay tho costs, he
is discharged according to law.'
11, In every "criuinnnal caso" of hhnu
tho Sheriff is entitled to receivo from tlio
county, under tho "Feo Bill" of April 2d
1808. tho sum of ono dollar and tiventv-fiv

nnd sentenced to imprisonment, together
with a lino nnd costs, or to cither or alio
these penalties, and is discharged according
to law, 1110 cusis dciiik uiiiim,
15. Whcro a party has been indicted i
an v countv of tlio Commonwealth forn fel
onv or misdemeanor, and flees or removes
to another county therein, tlio Court of
Oyer and Terminer or Court of Quarter
Sessions of tlio county wliere tho ollenco

sheriff or coroner ol tho county where such
offender is tarrying, for his arrest and deliv
ery for trial beforo tho Court awarding such
writ: and for tho "lteasonnblo expenses"
of executing such writ and removing the
accused, tho county is liable, no matter
whether ho bo convicted or not.
10, Tho Court of Oyer and Terminer, or

any criminal proceeding before Mich Courts
and for tho "reasonable expenses" of execut
ing such Mibprcuas or attachments tho conn
tv is also liable, no matter whether a con
vlctlou or an acquittal bo the result of such

17. Tho county Is further llablo for tho
"reasonable expenses" of transporting a party
charged w th having commuted a criminal
offenco In this State, from another Stato in
to which ho has lied, back to the proper
place for trial ; and this liability Is certain
also, whether tho accused be convicted or no

tno jury leo ot tour dollars on every ver
dict rendered m a civil caso, It is his duty
to be In Court, cither personally or by dec
uty, whenever it is in session, aud to collect
this fto ; nothing but tlio insolvency of the

Illerilins I'roin bungs. Catarrh, llronrliitis,

liofiMMT.i:, x. Y., Jan. 13th, 187-1.
, V. Pinnci:, M. D., Bulliilo, K. Y.:
Dear sir I havo suffered from Catarrh in
nn aggravated form for about twelve years
and sevcinl years from Bronchial trouble.
fried many doctors and things with no las-
tint? benefit. In Mnv.'72. becoming nearly
worn out with excessive F.ditorial labors on
a paper in New York City, I was attacked
Willi iironcuiiis in a severe iiiriii. siinuriiiK
almnU a total loss of voice. I returned
homo here, but bad been homo only two
weeks when 1 was cotrplcMy prostrated
with Hemorrhage from thc-L'.li-Sr y
our seven btcetwta snrij within wo weeks.
and first three inside of nine dugs. In the Sep
tember following, I improved sufficiently to
be nblo to be nbout, though in a very feeble
state. My Bronchial trouble remained and
the Uatarrh was tenlold worse than bcloro.
very effort for relief seemed fruitless. I
seemed to be losing ground daily. I con-
inued in this leeblo state, raising blood all
most daily until about tho first of March,'73
when I became so bad is to bo entirely cou
rt 1 I t r 1 .
men io uiu nouse. iv menu siiggesieu vour
emedies. But I was extremely skeptical
that they would do mo good, as I had lo-t
aU heart in remedies, nnd began to look up
o"n medicine and doctors with disgus'.
However, 1 obtained ono of your circulars.
and read it carefully, from which I came to
tho conclusion that you understood jour
business, nt least. I finally obtained u quan
tity ol Dr. Sago's Catarrh Itcmcdy, your
Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and
commenced their vigorous Use according to
directions- To my surprise, 1 began to im
prove. The Discovery nnd Pellets, in a
short time, brought out a severe eruption.
which continued for soveral weeks. I felt
much better, my appetite improved, and I
gained in strength and llcsh. In three
months ever vestigo of the Catarrh was
gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared,
had no Cough whatever and I had entirely
cased to raise blood: and, contran-to the
expectation of sonic of my friends, tho euro
ins remained permanent, l have had no
mote Hemorrhages irom the l.uugs, and
am entirely free from Catarrh, from which
1 have sullered so much and so long. 1 ho
debt of gratitudo I owe for the blessing I
uive received nt your hands, knows no
bounds. I am thoroughly satisfied, from my
experience, that your medicines will mas
ter tho worst forms of that odious disease
Catarrh, ns well as Throat nnd Lung Dis
eases. J havo recommended them to very
many and shall over speak in their praise.
Gratefully yours,

At Fort Sill the soldiers wero furnished
